you haven't been cheating??

Really??

Yes, you have been here a very long time. In fact you have playing standard 3455 games here.

The problem is that out of the 3455 games you have played here, you have play white in 3449 of them and black only 6 times. That is unfair. The system randomly assigns all players either white or black at the start of the game. You have chosen to manipulate our system, by only accepting the games where you get to move first.

That is cheating.

That is why your account was banned.

ChessCube believes in offering fair play to all our users and those players that try to manipulate our system to give themselves and advantage, or for any reason, are banned. This rule is clearly posted in the ChessCube Acceptable Use Policy.

I'm sorry i didn't know that. I think i have the option to choose between white or black.... I didn't know that was considered as cheating. Is there any chance i could be unbanned? I love chesscube,i would like to play again

yes, we used to offer the option that allowed users to select whether they wanted the white or black. But many, many users abused this feature, so we actually were forced to remove it, because of the abuse of those users was making game selection unfair.

Even after removing that feature, many users were still trying to take advantage by aborting games when they were given the black pieces. Even though this made it more difficult for them to gain an unfair advantage, some users were still so abscessed with cheating with complete disregard to the fairness of gaming that they still continue their cheating ways.

Some users simply will do anything to gain an unfair advantage and cheat. They believe that if the system will allow them to always get an unfair advantage over their opponent, they will take it and do not care about fairness for everyone. That is cheating. Those are the users we ban.

I understand what you are saying,but this does not answer my question. I also undestand that if everyone wants to play with white,there won't be any games. My question again is - can I be unbanned or not?

1) you do not get banned for ONE game

2) you do not get banned just because someone reports you

3) when we receive a report, we investigate and research many games from your game history. If we detect that you are using engine assistance in several games, then we have no choice but to ban your account for cheating.
